Hi,

I'm modelling a candle and I'm trying to get that soft luminance or transparancy at the top wich is evident when it's lit.

I'm hoping somebody can make me a couple of suggestions on how to achieve that.

Thanks,

there are many far better options than SLA for this effect, I would look at chanlum, Vreel luminance or best of all Arndt's Translucent plugin. All three of them work similar ways, require a lightsource with a shadow, and work best in the luminance channel.

Thanks, I tried searching for chanlum a bit but unfortunatly I cannot find it.

I know it's a free shader, now I just need to find it... Can somebody please provide me with a link?

Are the other two options you mentioned also free downloadable?

Thanks much...

Thanks...!

I managed to find Chanlum also, but in wich folder should I put all these files? I'm still using v7.

I included a picture of my nearly finished candle also, I'm quite happy with it.

Let me know what you think...
